About
Switch Therapeutics is a preclinical-stage biotechnology company founded in 2020 to develop therapeutic applications from RNA interference (RNAi) research pioneered at Caltech, Harvard Medical School, and City of Hope. The company's proprietary CASi (Conditional Activation Switch) platform integrates nucleic acid nanotechnology and RNA biology to create biomarker-gated genetic medicines — therapeutics that activate only in diseased cells expressing specific molecular signals. This programmable, cell-selective approach targets diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) and beyond. Switch raised $52M and moved into its own facility in South San Francisco in early 2022 upon publicly announcing its launch.
